Lagrangian analysis of turbulent dispersion

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Turbulence in the atmosphere near the earth's surface determines the transport and mixing of airborne substances. Understanding turbulent dispersion near the surface is important in developing new techniques for monitoring greenhouse gas exchange, for predicting the fate of pollutants, for studying the physical processes underlying ecosystem functioning, and for a host of other applications. This research program will pursue novel methods of describing turbulent dispersion. Part of the work will focus on expanding current theoretical descriptions to new scenarios, while the other part will focus on experiments to verify and improve our models of turbulent dispersion.
